Grilled Mexican Street Corn

Corn is a staple of cookouts, and there’s nothing like biting into a cob of juicy, flavorful corn. Our street corn recipe lends this summer favorite a little kick and a lot of flavor.

If you’re not into hot sauce, don’t worry. The mayonnaise and cheese in the recipe cool down the hot sauce, so the heat isn’t overwhelming. Experiment with different hot sauces to find what works best for you. And you’ll want to de-husk the corn and lay it straight on your GrillGrates to get that crisp, charred look.

The beauty of this recipe is in its variability: once the corn is cooked, guests can add or subtract toppings to their preference.
